'''Daniel Jan''' "'''Daan'''" '''Jippes''' (born 14 October 1945) is a Dutch [[cartoonist]] who's known for his work on [[Disney comics]]. In the 1980s and 1990s he drew many covers for [[Gladstone Publishing]]'s Disney magazines. In the 1990s he redrew for [[Egmont (media group)|Egmont]] old  [[Junior Woodchucks]] stories from the 1970s, originally written by Carl Barks and drawn by [[John Carey (comics)|John Carey]], [[Kay Wright]] and [[Tony Strobl]].

==Biography==
Daan Jippes started his comics career in the [[Netherlands]], where his work was published in the comics magazine ''Pep'' in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He rose to national recognition with his [[comics album]] ''Bernard Voorzichtig: Twee Voor Thee''. In the mid seventies he started working for the Dutch ''[[Donald Duck (Dutch comic book)|Donald Duck]]'' magazine, where his interpretation of the ducks and [[Mickey Mouse]] drew the attention of the Disney Studios in [[Burbank, California]]. Subsequently he was hired and worked for the Disney company; initially for the comic strip and merchandising department, later for the animation department as a designer and storyboarder, contributing to such films as ''[[The Rescuers Down Under]]'', ''[[The Prince and the Pauper (1990 film)|The Prince and the Pauper]]'', ''[[Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and the Beast]]'' and ''[[Aladdin (1992 Disney film)|Aladdin]]''. Aside from his work at Disney, he also worked as a storyboard supervisor on [[Amblimation]]'s ''[[Balto (film)|Balto]]'' and provided covers in Disney style for the comic books of [[Gladstone Publishing]].

Back in the Netherlands, in 2006 Jippes started a new album series, based on the detective stories by [[Havank]], drawn in a [[Marcinelle school|Marcinelle]] style similar to [[Franquin]]. Two albums have been published. In 2013 Jippes stated in an interview: "that project's dead in the water. Though I've finished writing a third story I lack the time and funding to start drawing and coloring those 44-plus pages."<ref>[https://ecodelmondo.blogspot.com/2013/05/interview-with-daan-jippes.html Interview with Daan Jippes] by Simone Cavazzuti (May 13, 2013)</ref>
